Market Based Approach: We may estimate the total enterprise value of each portfolio company by utilizing EBITDA or revenue multiples of publicly traded comparable companies and comparable transactions. We consider numerous factors when selecting the appropriate companies whose trading multiples are used to value our portfolio companies. These factors include, but are not limited to, the type of organization, similarity to the business being valued, and relevant risk factors, as well as size, profitability and growth expectations. We may apply an average of various relevant comparable company EBITDA or revenue multiples to the portfolio company's latest twelve month ("LTM") EBITDA or revenue, or projected EBITDA or revenue to calculate the enterprise value of the portfolio company. Significant increases or decreases in the EBITDA or revenue multiples will result in an increase or decrease in enterprise value, which may result in an increase or decrease in the fair value estimate of the investment.

We follow the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing—Secured Borrowing and Collateral ("ASC 860") when accounting for transactions involving the purchases of securities under collateralized agreements to resell (resale agreements). These transactions are treated as collateralized financing transactions and are recorded at their contracted resale or repurchase amounts, as specified in the respective agreements. Interest on collateralized agreements is accrued and recognized over the life of the transaction and included in interest income. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we held one collateralized agreement to resell with a cost basis of $30.0 million and $30.0 million, respectively, and a fair value of $13.5 million and $16.5 million, respectively. The collateralized agreement to resell is on non-accrual. The collateralized agreement to resell is guaranteed by a private hedge fund, PPVA Fund, L.P. The private hedge fund is currently in liquidation under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Pursuant to the terms of the collateralized agreement, the private hedge fund was obligated to repurchase the collateral from us at the par value of the collateralized agreement. The private hedge fund has breached its agreement to repurchase the collateral under the collateralized agreement. The default by the private hedge fund did not release the collateral to us, therefore, we do not have full rights and title to the collateral. A claim has been filed with the Cayman Islands joint official liquidators to resolve this matter. The joint official liquidators have recognized our contractual rights under the collateralized agreement. We continue to exercise our rights under the collateralized agreement and continue to monitor the liquidation process of the private hedge fund. The fair value of the collateralized agreement to resell is reflective of the increased risk of the position.

On December 22, 2017, we settled the Trustee’s $20.5 million Claim for $16.0 million and filed a claim with the Cayman Islands joint official liquidators of the private hedge fund for $16.0 million that is owed to us under the SPP Agreement. The SPP Agreement was restored and is in effect since repayment has not been made. We continue to exercise our rights under the SPP Agreement and continue to monitor the liquidation process of the private hedge fund. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we received a $1.5 million payment from our insurance carrier in respect to the settlement. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the SPP Agreement had a cost basis of $14.5 million and $14.5 million, respectively, and a fair value of $6.5 million and $8.0 million, respectively, which is reflective of the higher inherent risk in this transaction.

Interest and dividend income: Interest income, including amortization of premium and discount using the effective interest method, is recorded on the accrual basis and periodically assessed for collectability. Interest income also includes interest earned from cash on hand. Upon the prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties are recorded as part of interest income. We have loans and certain preferred equity investments in the portfolio that contain a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest or dividend provision. PIK interest and dividends are accrued and recorded as income at the contractual rates, if deemed collectible. The PIK interest and dividends are added to the principal or share balances on the capitalization dates and are generally due at maturity or when redeemed by the issuer. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we recognized PIK and non-cash interest from investments of approximately $36.9 million and $33.6 million, respectively, and PIK and non-cash dividends from investments of approximately $31.6 million and $27.4 million, respectively.

Non-accrual income: Investments are placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due for 30 days or more and when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued cash and un-capitalized PIK interest or dividends are reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Previously capitalized PIK interest or dividends are not reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Interest or dividend payments received on non-accrual investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment of the ultimate collectibility. Non-accrual investments are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current.

Our total investment income decreased by approximately $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2024, total investment income of $371.7 million consisted of approximately $231.3 million in cash interest from investments, approximately $36.9 million in PIK and non-cash interest from investments, approximately $0.7 million in prepayment fees, net amortization of purchase premiums and discounts of approximately $7.4 million, approximately $52.5 million in cash dividends from investments, approximately $31.6 million in PIK and non-cash dividends from investments and approximately $11.3 million in other income. The decrease in interest income of approximately $14.6 million from the year ended December 31, 2023 to the year ended December 31, 2024, was primarily due to slightly lower yields on the portfolio. The increase in dividend income from the year ended December 31, 2023 to the year ended December 31, 2024 was primarily driven by an increase in PIK dividends and an increase in cash dividends from our investments in SLP III and SLP IV, partially offset by a decrease in cash dividends from our investment in NMNLC. Other income during the year ended December 31, 2024, which represents fees that are generally non-recurring in nature, was primarily attributable to upfront, consent and amendment fees received from 62 different portfolio companies.

Current wording

Our total investment income decreased by approximately $44.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in prior year. For the year ended December 31, 2025, total investment income of $327.1 million consisted of approximately $200.6 million in cash interest from investments, approximately $30.2 million in PIK interest from investments, approximately $0.4 million in prepayment fees, net amortization of purchase premiums and discounts of approximately $8.8 million, approximately $49.3 million in cash dividends from investments, approximately $29.0 million in non-cash dividends from investments and approximately $8.8 million in other income. The decrease in interest income of approximately $36.1 million was primarily due to a lower invested asset base, along with lower all-in yields on the portfolio. The decrease in dividend income was primarily due to a decrease in preferred equity investments held, along with a cash distribution received in 2024 from our common shares investment in OA Topco, L.P. Other income during the year ended December 31, 2025, which represents fees that are generally non-recurring in nature, was primarily attributable to upfront, consent and amendment fees received from 36 different portfolio companies.

Previous wording

Interest and other financing expenses increased by approximately $11.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, as a result of the acceleration of financing costs upon termination of the DB Credit Facility, an increase in our cost of borrowings due to higher SOFR rates on our floating rate facilities, our 8.250% Unsecured Notes, issued on November 13, 2023 and our 6.875% Unsecured Notes, issued on February 1, 2024, partially offset by the repayment of our 2019A Unsecured Notes on February 5, 2024. Our total professional fees, administrative fees, net of expenses waived and reimbursed, and other general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 remained relatively flat.

Current wording

Interest and other financing expenses decreased by approximately $12.9 million which was primarily attributable to a decrease in total outstanding borrowings, a decrease in our cost of borrowings due to lower SOFR rates on our floating rate facilities and refinancing the NMFC Credit Facility and Holding Credit Facility to lower applicable spreads. Our total professional fees, administrative fees, net of expenses waived and reimbursed, and other general and administrative expenses remained relatively consistent period over period.

As movement in unrealized appreciation or depreciation can be the result of realizations, we look at net realized and unrealized gains or losses together. The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2024 was primarily driven by realized losses in New Trojan Parent, Inc., TMK Hawk Parent, Corp., and Transcendia and unrealized depreciation in TVG-Edmentum Holdings, LLC ("Edmentum"), HS Purchaser, LLC, New Permian Holdco, Inc. ("Permian") and New Benevis Holdco, Inc., partially offset by realized gains in Haven Midstream Holdings LLC and unrealized appreciation in NM GP Holdco, LLC, UniTek, HB Wealth Management, LLC and CentralSquare Technologies, LLC. The provision for income taxes was primarily attributable to our equity investments that are held as of December 31, 2024 in eight of our corporate subsidiaries.

Our liquidity is generated and generally available through advances from the revolving credit facilities, from cash flows from operations, and, we expect, through periodic follow-on equity offerings. In addition, we may from time to time enter into additional debt facilities, increase the size of existing facilities or issue additional debt securities, including unsecured debt and/or debt securities convertible into common stock. Any such incurrence or issuance would be subject to prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual and regulatory restrictions and other factors. On June 8, 2018 our shareholders approved the application of the modified asset coverage requirements set forth in Section 61(a) of the 1940 Act, which resulted in the reduction of the minimum asset coverage ratio applicable to us from 200.0% to 150.0% as of June 9, 2018. In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limited exceptions, we are only allowed to borrow amounts such that our asset coverage, calculated pursuant to the 1940 Act, is at least 150.0% after such borrowing (which means we can borrow $2 for every $1 of our equity). As a result of our exemptive relief received on November 5, 2014, we are permitted to exclude the SBA-guaranteed debentures of SBIC I and SBIC II from the definition of "senior securities" in the asset coverage requirement applicable to us under the 1940 Act. The agreements governing the NMFC Credit Facility, the Convertible Notes and certain of the Unsecured Notes (as defined below) contain certain covenants and terms, including a requirement that we not exceed a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.65 to 1.00 at the time of incurring additional indebtedness and a requirement that we not exceed a secured debt ratio of 0.70 to 1.00 at any time. As of December 31, 2024, our asset coverage ratio was 186.70%.
